I have a VERY clever 4 year old

[Ratfinkstinkypink]

He's miles behind his peers, he has next to no head control, he can't sit without support, he's nowhere near being able to walk. He is preverbal and he is very much in his own world but BUT he is beginning to smile when he means 'Yes please, I'd like to do that" and that is a huge, huge step for him. Huge.

That must be lovely for you

This is so lovely to read, well done to your clever boy and how wonderful for you, enjoy the gorgeous smiles ❤️

Ah that's brilliant!

You must be so proud 🥰

Fabulous... congratulations to you and well done to him!

Oh goodness. That's communication. That's huge.

Yes you do! Enjoy the joy xx
